I'm liking it a lot so far - the time taken to load java is less than it takes me to click on the UAC warning under Vista that WAU had, and not having to click on that is great !

Tigermac:~/Desktop tttt$ java JWowUpdater.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: JWowUpdater/jar
MACOS X 10.4.9 - Intel
java version "1.5.0_07"
I think you need to run jar files with:
java -jar JWowUpdater.jar
/Rolf
I was having the same issue on a mac with the same specs and tried the command you mentioned.
here's a screengrab of the error i get:
I think i know what the problem is. The compiled Jar file is compiled with java 6.0, but only uses 5.0 instructions, so it might fail to run on 5.0 java although it shouldnt. So ill make a new version compiled with 5.0 and put that up.
*UPDATE*
Ok the new archive is up on the google code page. Its called 5.0 Compile. Could you test that and tell me how it works?

Yep, it's the same error i get, when using - JWowUpdater-1.5-(Java 5.0 compiled).zip:

Would it be possible for you to try and get the latest 6.0 java and see if that fixes the problem?
Maybee ive used a 6.0 feature without knowing it.
*UPDATE*
Ok i see that a 6.0 version might not be avaliable for Mac's yet, so im going to download the SDK 5.0 version and check it myself with that one.
Ok after some testing with Java 5.0 it seems that my IDE, Netbeans, had automatically used a 6.0 feature.
I have now remade the part using a library to add the functionality that was being used. So the new 1.6 download of JWowUpdater should fix the error you mac people have been getting, (And other 5.0 java users).
The application started without any problems, however the feature to define proxy is probably not implemented so could you please add that so I (and potentially hundreds of others) could test and use it?
Seems quite nice, mainly because of the platform independency :-) Linux FTW!

I can confirm that the application (1.7) can start now on a MAC.
Im not sure that the application is working. When i have selected the WOW-path and clicked update addons, it just shows "******* Starting Update *******" and nothing else. it maybe because there is nothing to update, i will look into it later.
The application is not using the correct Addons folder. It using the correct path from the setup/config. But it creates a new folder called '/Interface/Addons" (in one word)it should not do that.

Done, get version 1.7 :)
(And please tell me if it works)
/Rolf
Great, proxy works now (Windows XP). I am up for further testing :-) Thx a lot for quick answer.
The connection is working and the application itself (in Win XP) works quite nicely as far as my testing is concerned :-)
However, if I may I would suggest some additional features. The basic thing would be to initially list addons the applications detected (and thus the list of addons to be updated) with checkboxes restricting some addons to be updated (could be similar to the list of addons to be newly installed).
Enough for now. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work!

But im getting an error when i try to run it :(
Do you know what's wrong?
Tigermac:~/Desktop tttt$ java JWowUpdater.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: JWowUpdater/jar
MACOS X 10.4.9 - Intel
java version "1.5.0_07"
I think you need to run jar files with:
java -jar JWowUpdater.jar
/Rolf
Ill look into this, but as i havent used this myself it isnt currently supported. But definately an option to add this.
*UPDATE*
The latest version 1.5 should be able to download all no-ext versions if you togle the checkbox from the new config page.

People actually leave the UAC on? ;)
